The Boeing 737 MAX-10 has been upgraded with new safety features, and is expected to be delivered to customers in the coming months.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a certification for Boeing’s 737 MAX-10 aircraft this week. The announcement follows a years-long review process, including almost 1,000 test flights and other safety assessments and design reviews. The aircraft is equipped with new safety technology, longer range, and increased passenger capacity.
“After extensive safety reviews – including thousands of hours of test flights – the team at the FAA is ready to approve this critical aircraft for sale,” said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. “This is a major win for American manufacturing and our nation’s status as a global aviation powerhouse. We invented flight, we pioneered air travel, and we are going to continue leading the way in aviation safety and innovation.”
“The FAA’s decision follows a thorough review of the aircraft’s design and safety requirements,” said FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford. “We will continue to hold Boeing to the highest safety standards as the company begins production of the 737 MAX-10.”
Deliveries of the new aircraft to Boeing customers are expected to begin in the next few months, as more than 1,500 orders have already been placed.
